Claire Burnt, a famous person on Derwen College campus for setting the rooms at an Inn to the proper standards, has Down’s Syndrome. She has been training once in a week in a Premiere Inn for two years.
She is a student of the mentioned institution, the chief objective of which is to train students with learning disabilities and to make them employed at a national level. The organisation takes 273 special students per year and works with all its sincere and hearty endeavours to benefit its students.
Courageous In Her Attitude
Clair has now decided to move from Worcester to lead a life being completely independent. Her parents are also looking forward in this. She has started a placement in the local premiere Inn at a nearby place and hopes to be employed after its completion. She went to Derwen at the age of 19 and completed her basic education. She stayed there for two more years on its live and work program for gaining vocational skills. On asked about perfect bed-making Burnt comments,
“I do it all by myself, though I have to work hard.”
Who Else Are Inspired Apart From Students?

In this process of making students with learning difficulties to be employed, the spectators, seeing such impossible deeds to be made possible by them, are getting inspired. Tracey Bishop, cluster general manager for Chester and Wrexham Premier Inn says:
“I was so inspired when I first went to Derwen. I couldn’t stop thinking about it. We had been approached by one of the team and were invited to visit. We were all blown away by the passion and commitment of the college staff. We all came away determined to help.”
What Are The Next Steps?
In the last summer the target for the students to fulfill was setting up the replica room. It has not only helped but also made it possible for 11 students to be trained at a standard of premiere Inn. In the next academic year, more 14 students will be trained.
Bishop comments:
“It has helped enormously with their confidence and helped increase their speed in an environment that they are comfortable with. We know the college wants more students to come to us. They are thinking big.”
The Friend; Philosopher & Guide
There are various other schemes of Derwen like this. This scheme, featured on BBC3 documentary, Life Begins Now, is actually an example which shows the world that the students with learning disabilities can also work as same as the non-disabled persons.
Peter Beresford, professor of social policy at Brunel University, and co-chair of Shaping Our Lives, a service user-led organisation and network, comments:
“If we were living in an ideal world, it would be great if companies like John Lewis and Waitrose had careers for everybody but the real world has a very discriminatory job market. What Derwen is doing is a really positive building block for people with learning disabilities.”
Kaliya Franklin, who co-founded People First England, an advocacy organisation for people with learning disabilities, thinks that this is the inauguration,
“Only 7% of people with learning disabilities have had paid work. There’s a lack of both ambition and opportunity for people with learning disabilities when it comes to paid work and the government making people with learning disabilities poorer will only increase their barriers to work, not help them find employment.”
Determination Defeats Difficulties
This special hotel training provides the people with learning difficulties with a scope to show the world who they really are and such an opportunity should not only be taken but also be used as soon as possible.
